The slope on a distance-time graph shows a ball moving from 20 m to 40 m in 1 s and from 40 m to 80 m in the next second

The ball is accelerating

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, the slope of the graph represents the speed of the object represented.

Let's therefore calculate the slope (so, the speed of the ball) in the two intervals given.

In the first second, we have:

\Delta y = 40 - 20 = 20 m\\\Delta x = 1 s

So the average speed is

v_1 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{20}{1}=20 m/s

In the next second, we have:

\Delta y = 80 - 40 = 40 m\\\Delta x = 1 s

So the average speed is

v_2 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{40}{1}=40 m/s

We notice that the speed of the ball has increased from 20 m/s in the first second to 40 m/s in the next second: this means that the speed of the ball is increasing, and therefore, the ball is accelerating.

An object was released from rest at height of 1.65 m with respect to ground. Determine the time it takes the object to reach the
vivado [14]

Answer:

The time taken by the object to reach the ground is 0.58 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object was released from rest at height of 1.65 m with respect to ground. We need to find the time taken by the object to reach the ground. Initial speed of the object is 0 as it is at rest. It will move downward under the action of gravity such that, the distance covered by the object is given by :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.65}{9.8}}

t = 0.58 seconds

So, the time taken by the object to reach the ground is 0.58 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

a 300-gram toy car and a 500-gram toy car are sitting on a shelf that is 2 meters highter than the floor. by what percent is the
andre [41]
We are given:

m1 = 300 grams
m2 = 500 grams
h1 = h2 = 2 meters

We have to determine the potential energy of both toy cars:

PE = mgh
PE1 = m1gh1
PE1 = 300 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE1 = 5.886 Joules

PE2 = m2gh2
PE2 = 500 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE2 = 9.81 Joules

PE2 - PE1 / PE2

9.81 - 5.886 Joules / 9.81 joules * 100 = 40.0%

Therefore, the 500-gram car is greater by 40% in terms of potential energy than the 300-gram car. This is because mass is directly proportional to the potential energy of an object.

What is the energy of light that must be absorbed by a hydrogen atom to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Using Bohr's equation; the energy absorbed by the hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows:

\delta E = (\frac{1}{n_2{^2}} -\frac{1}{n_1^{2}})13.6eV

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom.

Lower energy level (n₂) = 3

Higher energy level (n₁) = 5

1 eV = 1.602X10⁻¹⁹ C

\delta E = (\frac{1}{3{^2}} -\frac{1}{5^{2}})13.6X1.602X10^{-19}

ΔE = 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹J

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom  to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5 is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1
